Today ?

*edit , I guess so

ENG all out for 81

 

[Agent_Smith]

Today ?

Lol yup. Probably in the next 15 minutes the way things are going. Seriously, Root and Leach to bowl. That's what I would be doing if I were captaining...

 

[Creag]

What a joke!

Lowest totals for England vs India:

81 Ahmedabad 2020/21 *
101 The Oval 1971
102 Mumbai WS 1979/80
102 Leeds 1986
112 Ahmedabad 2020/21

 

[R13...]

This is a ridiculous farce. So, it is just that India prepared an ultra spin friendly patch and bet on their spinners? After all England only selected one spinner.

 

[JohnStarr]

Honestly not a good example for Test cricket really. That pitch is basically just sand where the batsmen are standing.

 

[WaxLyrical]

Lol

I totally agree...not sure what it means!

Looks like Root will burst into tears any moment

Probably wondering what nob at the ECB came up with the idea of not playing your strongest team!

1 run till 36, and then India will lose all 10 wickets.

lol.

Root to Rohit, SIX, Rohit finishes it off in style! India win by 10 wickets. As comprehensive as it gets. Rohit chipped down the track and heaved it over deep mid for a huge six. India have bossed another game at home

It's like taking sand out of 1 of my wife's flower beds and then putting it on the front lawn as a pitch. That's a poor advert for the game.
England also out because of immensely stupid selections.

 

[3WA]

Do India lose any WTC points if the pitch is declared complete shite?

Logic dictates it should be really. It's embarrassing. But India is part of the cricket mafia so no chance that will happen.

 

[Kelerei]

WTC final scenarios:

• England: no longer in contention.
• India: must win or draw the final Test.
• Australia: must hope for England to win the final Test.

India England, just woke up and thought I had missed the morning session. Game hasn't even started yet. Forgot it's pink ball day night test. This could be epic!

Now you can sleep in for the next 3 days too.....
